Qualifications

[Ulfberht]

Under what tab is qualifications - the number of different pops who qualifies for different jobs? I found it once, but cant find it again...

Is there one that specifically tells you who is qualified? I know you can see you pops by jobs, but a qualified one would be handy too.

Sometimes when I go to build something the popup says "not enough qualified pops" and I build it anyway and it gets filled up anyway.

No, because that pool likely changes dynamically (Edit: Well this is flat out wrong; completely forgot about the Qualification Tab as mentioned by user @Alehkra). There is a general hierarchy to who will promote that you can see when hoovering over the Jobs required. Anyone who has more information can chime in, but it appears it is just: is there are qualified populations in your country and the wages are worth the change, then you'll have enough staff.

. . .also note, like a lot of other things in this game, it might be accurate for the snapshot of your current nation, but is not set in stone (particularly if you have high migration and available pops in other states, which, again, changes dynamically).

In the Buildings tab for an individual state (not the nation wide buildings), down at the bottom it lists the total number of peasants available, and then on the right it has Qualifications. I've only ever seen a green checkmark next to it, but presumably if you don't have enough to meet open jobs it'll be a red x or something. But hover over the checkmark and it'll tell you how many Qualifications there are in that state.

Also if you open up an individual pop, like your peasants in one state, and hover over the number for Workforce it will tell you how many qualifications that pop has, and also the rate at which they generate per month (and a breakdown of why if you then hover over those values; it'll show you if they have enough literacy for machinists but not engineers for instance)

Its dependent on literacy, and having a university boost the qualification %, more uni levels gives a bigger boost. Not sure if there is a good way to see it easily.

I feel like this is prime territory for a simple mod that replaces the checkmark with a "X of Y" counter and show it in other places you build from instead of just that one tab.

I definitely agree it should be shown more places, but I can understand why it's just a checkmark. Just a total raw number of how many qualifications there are wouldn't be very useful, and they couldn't list out each different profession without taking up a third of the building screen. So I think that's a good place for a tooltip expansion when you do need to see the details.
